U.S. and Canada can try upcoming games at local retail stores

Just because Nintendo won't try to dazzle fans and media at its own glitzy E3 press conference this year doesn't mean there's nothing to show.

"In the past, we've focused the E3 hands-on experience on those attending the event," Fils-Aime said. "But this year, we're making E3 for the people. And we want to make sure you get the chance to try our games, as well."

More than 100 Best Buy locations will host demo units for "select unreleased Wii U games" throughout the week of E3, which begins June 11. Fils-Aime said Nintendo will reveal more about which games and locations will be included in the weeks leading up to the event.

Power to the people! Definitely still look at our stuff, though. Please?

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar.
